Reception
ABC Sea Food Restaurant

Food is great... People loved the honey "smoked bass". This year they're going under renovations and they didn't tell us. Air conditioning broken through first half of the banquet. We had our own area even though we only had 13 tables reviewed, which was nice. They were accommodating of chocolate fountain table as well as Lion dancers.
